Crush Set - Crossfit Workout

For Time – 5 Rounds

35 Single Crossovers
10 Bench Press @65% of 1RM
10/15 Cal Assault Bike
15 A-jumps

TC: 17

Workout Overview

“Crush Set” is a five-round for-time workout that combines upper-body pressing power with aerobic engine work and coordination. With 35 single crossovers to start each round, followed by bench press, Assault Bike calories, and a final set of A-jumps, this workout stacks tension and intensity in quick succession. Expect a high heart rate and a steady arm pump.

Execution and Focus

Start every round with clean, unbroken single crossovers. Immediately move to bench press — use a spotter if needed, and make sure 65% of your 1RM is something you can move in 1–2 quick sets. Assault Bike should be an honest push without hitting your redline. A-jumps cap off each round by targeting hip power and coordination — keep them snappy, light, and rhythmic.

Strategy and Finish

Don’t empty the tank in round one. Set a pace that allows consistent transitions and quick reps across all stations. For the bench press, avoid failure — better to break early and stay smooth. Save a bit for the Assault Bike and push hard in the final round. A-jumps should never stop — find a tempo that feels athletic. Beat the time cap with efficiency, not desperation.

What is a "for time" workout?

A for time workout is a classic CrossFit format where the goal is to complete a set list of exercises as fast as possible. Your time becomes your score, making each for time CrossFit workout a race against the clock — and yourself.

In a typical for time workout, you'll perform a fixed number of reps or rounds of movements (e.g., squats, push-ups, burpees, or barbell lifts) and finish them as quickly as you can while maintaining good form. This format pushes you to work hard, manage fatigue, and develop both conditioning and mental toughness.

Why Try a "For Time" CrossFit Workout?

  • Builds intensity and urgency into your training

  • Encourages better pacing, efficiency, and recovery awareness

  • Easy to track progress over time — beat your previous score!

  • Works well for individual or group competition-style workouts

Whether you're doing a short sprint or a long chipper, the for time CrossFit workout format is a powerful way to test your limits and stay motivated in your training.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • single crossover

    The single crossover is a jump rope variation where the athlete crosses their arms during each jump, one rep at a time. In single crossover workouts, this skill adds variety, timing, and shoulder coordination to classic jump rope conditioning.

    In this workout, single crossovers build rhythm, footwork, and upper-body agility. They’re a fun and scalable step up from single unders, helping athletes improve timing and rope control in a cardio-focused setting.

  • bench press

    The bench press is a foundational upper-body strength movement where the athlete presses a barbell from chest to full extension while lying on a bench. Central to any serious bench press workout, it’s a proven builder of raw pushing power and muscle mass.

    In this workout, the bench press targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders—developing pressing strength and upper-body control. Whether trained for max strength, hypertrophy, or accessory work, the bench press remains a cornerstone of effective strength programming.

  • A-jump

    A-jumps are a powerful plyometric movement where the athlete jumps from a squat into a fully extended position—arms reaching high and feet leaving the floor explosively. Common in A-jump workouts, this bodyweight drill trains lower-body speed, power, and reactivity.

    In this workout, A-jumps build explosive strength in the quads, glutes, and calves, while also boosting heart rate and coordination. Often used in high-rep conditioning, they demand control and quick recovery—making them ideal for improving athleticism, endurance, and leg drive.

  • Assault Bike

    The Assault Bike is a fan-powered machine that delivers one of the most effective full-body conditioning challenges in fitness. Common in high-intensity assault bike workouts, it trains your legs, arms, and lungs all at once — and responds directly to how hard you push.

    In this workout, the Assault Bike is used to build power, stamina, and mental toughness. Whether you're sprinting for calories or holding a steady pace, the Assault Bike is perfect for intervals, finishers, or pure engine tests.
